“…MPX vaccines are now being tested for their ability to prevent and control the disease. People who may be in danger, like health workers, laboratory personnel, and fast reaction teams, are offered vaccines in several countries (Cohen 2022;Saied et al 2022a). The ability to quickly identify new cases and contain an outbreak is essential.…”

“…Monkeypox (MPX) is a viral zoonosis illness caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) that has been linked to detrimental effects on both human and animal health, and currently posed a global public health emergency (Banerjee et al 2022;Lai et al 2022;Meo and Jawaid 2022;Mohapatra et al 2022;Saied et al 2022a). Its symptoms are similar to those of smallpox, although it is clinically less severe.…”

The resurgence of the disease in humans that is very similar to smallpox called monkeypox (MPX) disease, caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), is the dominant topic of discussion in the scientific and popular press around the world right now. This is taking place as the world celebrates the historic accomplishments made in the fight against the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic MPX is currently thought to pose a risk to the general public's health, particularly in areas with high rates of MPXV infection and close human-wild animal contact. Despite the rarity of MPX outbreaks, they are often caused by human-to-human transmission, especially in households and healthcare settings. Recent decades have seen recurrent outbreaks of the MPX after the smallpox disease was declared eliminated and the consequent cessation of smallpox vaccination programs. MPX has presently spread to several countries throughout the world and posed a global public health emergency, with nearly 45000 confirmed cases in 96 countries and locations, and 12 deaths as of August 24, 2022. Even though this viral illness is thought to be self-limiting, its consequences and feasible pandemic potential seriously jeopardize public health. The main approach to avoiding MPX is to adopt appropriate prevention and control measures, increase awareness of risk factors, and inform the public of the steps they may take to reduce viral exposure. Scientific studies are currently looking at the viability and suitability of the MPX vaccination. This article presents a general introduction to MPXV / MPX along with progress in diagnosis, treatment, vaccination, and prevention and control strategies for tackling this global health emergency.

“…The monkeypox virus (MPXV) has emerged as a novel threat to the human race amid the worldwide efforts to overcome the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [ 1 , 2 ]. Monkeypox, a zoonotic orthopoxviral disease, which presents clinically as a smallpox-like infection in humans, is becoming increasingly prevalent in high-income settings and healthcare systems.…”

“…Monkeypox, a zoonotic orthopoxviral disease, which presents clinically as a smallpox-like infection in humans, is becoming increasingly prevalent in high-income settings and healthcare systems. While the monkeypox virus was first diagnosed in the 1970s in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), it has been spread to several countries [ 2 , 3 ]. As of 28th June, a total of 4780 cases have been reported globally (Monkeypox, Our World in Data; https://ourworldindata.org/monkeypox ) ( Fig.…”

“…HHT of MPXV occurs when an individual comes into contact with an infected animal, person, or contaminated material [ 5 ]. In addition to entering the body through broken skin (including wounds invisible to the naked eye), the virus can spread largely through fluid or droplets into the mouth, nose, or eyes.…”
